Heavy rain, thunderstorms lash parts of J&K; Ramban admin issues safety alert
Ramban , August 23 : Heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning lashed several parts of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, prompting district administrations to issue safety advisories. In Ramban district, intense downpours and lightning were reported in different parts of the district.

Simultaneously, rain lashed several parts of the neighbouring Udhampur district, bringing down temperatures and causing wet conditions across the region. According to meteorological data, widespread precipitation and overcast conditions have led to a noticeable dip in temperatures across both Jammu and Kashmir divisions, accompanied by extremely high humidity levels. Srinagar City recorded a temperature of 16.2 degrees Celsius with 100 per cent rainfall, while Jammu City registered 22.4 degrees Celsius with 98 per cent rainfall. Among other major stations, the tourist resort of Gulmarg recorded the lowest temperature in the region at 10.6 degrees Celsius, while Pahalgam recorded 14.2 degrees Celsius alongside 96 per cent rainfall. In the Jammu division, Katra recorded 20.8 degrees Celsius with 95 percent rains, Banihal witnessed 17.4 degrees Celsius with 93 per cent showers, and Kupwara recorded 17 degrees Celsius under cloudy skies. According to the five-day forecast issued by the IMD, rainfall activity is expected to gradually taper off over the coming days, transitioning to scattered light showers across parts of southern and eastern districts including Ramban, Udhampur, Doda, Kishtwar, and Anantnag. However, the weather department has cautioned about the possibility of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching up to 60 km/h at isolated places, alongside the persistent risk of localised flash floods, landslides, and mudslides in vulnerable hilly terrains over the next five days. According to IMD data, across the country, very heavy rainfall was recorded over Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, East Uttar Pradesh, West Uttar Pradesh, and East Madhya Pradesh yesterday. Additionally, heavy rainfall was also reported over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Assam and Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, West Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. Additionally, the weather agency predicted isolated heavy rainfall for Uttarakhand from August 22 to 28.

The popular crime franchise Mirzapur, which became a major title in Indian streaming, is now heading to the big screen with Mirzapur: The Movie. Presented by Amazon MGM Studios and Excel Entertainment, the film is directed by Gurmmeet Singh and written by Puneet Krishna. It is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on September 4, 2026. Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, along with co-producers Kassim Jagmagia and Vishal Ramchandani, the film continues the story that first gained a following in 2018. The big-screen adaptation features an ensemble cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Ali Fazal, Abhishek Banerjee, Rasika Dugal, Mohitt Maalik, Sheeba Chadha, Rajesh Tailang, Pramod Pathak, Harshita Shekhar Gaur, Shweta Tripathi and Sonal S Chauhan. The film will also see the return of popular characters such as Divyenndus Munna Bhaiya, Kulbhushan Kharbandas Satyanand Tripathi and Shriya Pilgaonkars Sweety Gupta. During a promotional event for the film in Patna, Pankaj Tripathi revisited an important chapter of his early career. Addressing the crowd in Bihar, the actor recalled the days when he was a theatre artist working to establish himself before making his mark in films. Tripathi remembered travelling by bicycle from Kankarbagh to Khagaul for theatre rehearsals. He shared how those early experiences remain closely connected to his journey as an actor. Recalling his first play at the N.C. Ghosh Institute in Khagaul, Pankaj Tripathi said, It was right here that I performed my very first play at N.C. Ghosh Institute in Khagaul. For about a month and a half, I used to cycle all the way from Kankarbagh to come here for the performances. So, when I arrived at the station 30 years later and saw the NC Ghosh building, memories from those days came flooding back. Returning to Danapur station decades later, this time amid fans and as an established actor, brought back memories of his early struggles and theatre days. Tripathi also spoke about his connection with Bihar and expressed pride in witnessing the regions growth and the warmth he continues to receive there. For the actor, the visit was more than just part of the films promotional campaign. It became an opportunity to revisit the journey that began with theatre, long before he became widely recognised on screen.
